Recent work by one of San Franciscošs most prolific iconic artists, James Redo, will be on display March 14 thru 16 at Live Worm Gallery, at 1345 Grant Avenue, between Vallejo and Green.

Called Hora Vacuui, which translates to ŗfear of space,˛ the exhibition of four works is sponsored by the North Beach Arts Group. The exhibit will be launched with a reception, March 15, beginning at 7:00 pm.

Included in the exhibit will be Redošs Maya Vision, Ancient Ancestors and Fusion Frisco Dreaming , which express his penchant for rendering dense, muralistic representations of the vibrant life of distant cultures evoked in his Classic and Contemporary forms.

Best known for his thoughtful and emotive work as well as the volume of his output of drawings, paintings and sculptures in various media, Redo is also a published poet, whose universal themes in various media reflects his extensive travel and his fascination with ancient cultures.

Maya Vision honors both the end and beginning of time as interpreted by the Mayan calendar, as it anticipates momentous cosmic change in 2012. Fusion Frisco is a blended anthology of Redošs daily renderings incorporating a variety of monochromatic drawings that deal with both traditional and contemporary-technological themes.

The North Beach Arts Group has, as its mission, the celebration and promotion of the long tradition of creative expression associated with San Franciscošs legendary district.
